We were just at Beardmore Chevrolet looking at cars---and they have every single building posted. No carry allowed. When we asked one of the salesmen about it, he said that it meant you can't carry in their parking lot either.
I let him know that was only true if every entrance to the parking lot was posted, not merely the entrances to the building. I did say that of course, the business owner had every right to ask people to leave his parking lot---but technically, for it to be automatic, every entrance had to be posted.
We also asked him to inform his manager that not only would we never buy any cars there, we'd be passing the word along to everyone else we knew.

No, the business owner does not have the right to ban CCW in the parking lot. It is specifically noted in the law that parking lots open to the public can not be posted no CCW
--- Quote ---018.06 Except as prohibited by federal law, a permit holder may carry a concealed handgun in a vehicle or on his or her person while riding in or on a vehicle into or onto any parking area which is open to the public and used by any of the places or premises listed in Section 018.01 above if the handgun is not removed from the vehicle and the handgun is properly secured in the vehicle before the permit holder exits the vehicle. To be properly secured in the vehicle, the handgun must be locked inside the glove box, trunk or other compartment of the vehicle, in a storage box attached to the vehicle, or in a securely attached hardened compartment if the vehicle is a motorcycle.

...as long as the gun stays in the car. The guy at Beardmore was talking about walking around their car lot with a CCW, which is a different situation. If they had posted their lot, indeed, the gun could be worn in your car, and stored in your car---but you could not have gotten out of your car while carrying.
Currently, their lot is not posted, so it is a non-issue, other than the fact that the guy didn't know the law. (Not a surprise.)

I was actually amazed at Beardmore's policy, and quite offended. I am planning to send them a letter regarding their policy (borrowing the one posted here by Fly). The sales man had NO IDEA how to respond to us when we told him we were not able to go inside his building to check out cars / prices. When he came out and we told him we were unwilling to do business with them, he was clueless! He seems to have joined the il-logic of those thinking that "less guns" = "less crime". When we tried to explain to him that CCW holders are the MOST law abiding citizens around, he agreed with us, but looked somewhat like a bobble-head doll doing it.
I have seen several businesses discriminate against us, but never one like this. I was shocked at how emotionally and personally I took their idiocy. I will be taking my business elsewhere!
